Darnel Webster, Robert Rantoul and oth¬ 
ers, ascribe the authorship to Nathan Dane, of 
Mass., of the ordinance of 1787. Mr. Edward 
Coles, of Philadelphia, conclusively shows that 
Thomas JefFerson was the author. Mr. Coles is 
an aged Virginian. He is a brother-in-law of 
Hon. Andrew Stevenson ; was President Madi¬ 
son’s private secretary ; the first Governor of the 
State of Illinois, and a warm friend and corres¬ 
pondent of Jefferson, to whom his elder brother, 
Isaac Coles, was private secretary. 
It is proved by statistics, although it seems 
perhaps hardly probable, that more deaths and 
serious accidents annually occur from the use of 
“ burning fluid ” in the United States, than from 
steamboat explosions and railroad accidents com¬ 
bined. Professor Silliman says that if bis word 
were law, there should never be another drop of 
it used in the ordinary lamps now kept in shops 
in families. 
Some of our American city papers, we 
perceive, are ridiculing English papers for saying 
that in the State of New York farmers use sheep 
to churn their butter. How the facts may be as 
to ether parts of the State we are unable to say, 
but so far as the English statement applies to this 
section, it is correct. A great many use sheep of 
late as churners, instead of dogs, and give them 
the preference.— Pouyh. Eagle. 
£5f”The Minnesotian of the 1st statesthat there 
were not three consecutive days in Decetncer that 
did not bring a snow storm. January 1st, snow 
between two and three feet deep at St. Paul, and 
further north much deeper. At Crow Wing, re¬ 
ported ten feet. The last storm continued sixteen 
hours, and snow badly drifted. Traveling im¬ 
peded all over the country. 
The Cleveland Herald says that the cattle 
growers of Madison county, Ohio, have organized 
a cattle importing company, the capital stock. 
$10,000, all taken. The company will shor ly 
send one of their number to England to make se¬ 
lections and purchases. A similar company is be¬ 
ing formed in Indiana, with a capital of $25,000. 
£3$” It was decided by one of the Courts at Cin¬ 
cinnati, last week, that if a passenger in a railroad 
car purchases a ticket, but accidentally looses it, 
the company have no right either to make him 
pay the fare a second time, or turn him out of the 
cars, provided he can bring proof that he actually 
paid for the lost ticket. 
The Supreme Court of the United States 
have decided that all contracts entered into by 
citizens of the United States for money or sup¬ 
plies to be employed in military operations by 
citizens of this country against the people or ter¬ 
ritory of any nation at the time in amity with 
the United States, are illegal and void. 
iw* A native African called “Uncle Moore,” 
resides in Wilmington, N. C., eightv-three years 
of age—forty-five a slave. His time"is chiefly oc¬ 
cupied in reading the Scriptures in Arabic. He 
writes the language with remarkable accuracy and 
beauty of penmanship. 
Jfff” The New York Tribune of yesterday says, 
“ it is a notable fact, as illustrating the rapid in¬ 
crease of steam navigation, that of the two hun¬ 
dred entries at the Custom House to-day, one hun¬ 
dred and eighty were of importations by steam¬ 
ers.” 
According to the Sexton’s report, there 
were 264 deaths in Buffalo during the last quarter 
of 1852. Of these 17 died of cholera, 50 of con¬ 
sumption, 24 of dysentery, 16 of typhoid fever, 
15 of old age, 11 teething, and 20 unknown. 
ZW There are now completed and in operation 
in the state of Indiana 753miles of railroad 
and 979 more in the course of construction, of 
which over four hundred will be completed in the 
course of the next six months. 
J'gT Messrs. Lcwelling & Meek, near Milwau¬ 
kee, Oregon, have an immense orchard of 200,000 
trees, the grafts of which were brought across the 
plains in 1849. The trees of four years growth 
produce splendid apples, quinces, <fcc. • 
The amount received by Mrs. Stowe up to 
the close of the last year, as her share of the pro¬ 
ceeds of the sales of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” was 
about twenty thousand dollars. The publishers 
have cleared $40,000. 
The Hop Market. 
We clip the following item of interest to Hop 
growers, from the Cooperstown Freeman's Jour¬ 
nal : 
So far as our information extends, the brewers 
do not hold a very large amoifnt of hops. The 
speculators have considerable on hand ; and they 
have been very successful in disposing of what 
remained of previous crops. By t he best estimate 
we are enabled to make, there is now. remaining 
in the hands of the growers of this State, about 
420,000 lbs. of hops—the principal part of which 
lie in the counties of Otsego, Madison, Oneida and 
Herkimer. 
'I’lie future admits of some speculation and cal¬ 
culation as to the juice this article will continue 
to command. Our own view of the matter is, 
that hops are not likely to sell for less than they 
are bringing at present-, while the chances are that 
they will bring more. This opinion is based part¬ 
ly on the belief that large speculators will attempt 
the same policy they pursued last year, whenever 
they think the time has fully come — especially 
should the money market remain easy. 
News Clippings. 
ZW" The Southern Star states that there are 
40,000 Baptists in Mississppi. The sum of $30,000 
was subscribed by the recent Baptist Convention, 
towards the endowment fund of $100,000, pro¬ 
posed to be raised for the Literary and Theologi¬ 
cal Institute, located at Clinton, besides several 
thousands for interests, home and foreign, under 
the direction of the body. 
VW The Warsaw Mirror says the Directors and 
Contractors of the Attica and Allegany Railroad, 
have agreed that “spiiitous liquors shall not be 
bought, sold or u^pd as a beverage on the lino of 
the road.” The Contractors are obligated while 
the road is building, and the Directors when it 
shall be in operation. 
ZW According to the late census. New York 
State rendered assistance during the year ending 
June 1st, 1850, to 59,855 paujjers at a cost of 
$817,3.36. During the same year, there resided in 
this State 1307 deaf and dumb, 1272 blind, 2530 
insane, and 1739 idots. 
At the present term of the U. S. District Court 
held at Albany, William A. Hilliard, of Bridge- 
water, Oneida county, has been found guilty of 
using a postage stamp after it had been once used 
before. Penalty, fifty dollars. 
ZW“ The Artesian Well at Charleston has 
reached the extraordinary depth of 936 feet with¬ 
out coming to water. A tube has been inserted 
of six inches in diameter, connected by screw 
joints, the entire distance. 
Porkopolis is a great town. The Nonpa¬ 
reil says :—“ Not far from the Brighton House, 
we saw a woman in a smithshop, with a leather 
apron on, and hammer in hand, setting a wagon 
tire.” 
J$j|PA German paper calculates the number of 
political prisoners now confined in the jirisons of 
Europe at 76,680 ; and that over 200,000 have fled 
to avoid imprisonment for the same cause. 
£5?”The last census shows 53,829 free Negroes 
in Virginia. This class of colored people, says 
the Richmond Enquirer, increases much more 
rapidly than slaves. 
State of Arkansas and the City of St. Louis 
— The assessed value of real estate in t he State of 
Arkansas, is $41,000,000. The assessed value of 
the real and personal property in the city of St. 
Louis is $45,000,000. The amount of taxes of 
Arkansas in 1852 was $88,000. The amount of 
city taxes, for the same period, of the city of St. 
Louis was $360,000, and the whole revenue of 
the city upwards of half a million of dollars. 
Delicately Done. — Rev. Dr. De Witt, in his 
prayer in the House of Representatives, at Har¬ 
risburg, on Thursday morning, asked grace for the 
members that their “ hands may not be polluted 
with bribes.” The doctor has a kind of way of 
alluding in exhortation, prayer and advice, to mat¬ 
ters which the guilty like to have avoided. He 
makes Ihem shake in their boots; but does not 
lie sometimes “ excite ideas ?”— Harrisburg Tel. 
American Commerce. — The annual report on 
commerce and navigation, which is iu the hands 
of the printers at Washington, shows that 1,444 
vessels have been built the past yeat, measuring 
351,494 tons, and that our aggregate tonnage is 
now 4,138,441 tons. Maine built last year 354 
vessels, measuring 110,047 tons. 
Fat Hog and Fat Price. —Volney Douglas, of 
Richland, in this county, lately killed a hog which 
weighed dressed, 757& pounds, and sold it for 
nine dollars a hundred, which amounts to the 
snug little sum of $68 174J. A pretty fair price 
that for one porker.— Oswego Times.

The Hto-.vell Evergreen Sweet Corn. — A few 
bushels of this new and valuable variety, from seed raise 
by Professor J. J. Mapes. L L. Ifur sale. Per bushel 
$10 ; peck $5; half peck $3; quart $1; sent by express to 
any part of the counl ry, on receipt of the money by mail. 
This is beyond all doubt the best and most prolific kind of 
Sweet Corn ever grown. No Farmer should be without it. 
One of the advantages claimed for this corn by Prof. Mapes 
is that it may be kept gruen anii fresh all the year 
round. The subscriber’s limited experience, hawever, does 
not enable him to endorse this. Address, post-paid, 
ALFRED E BEACH, 
White Plains, Westchester Co., N. Y. 
From the “ Working Farmer,” September, 1851. By Prof. 
Mapes. 
We have long been convinced that Sweet Corn would 
prove superior as green fodder, to any other ; and the only 
objection urged against its use lias been the smaller yield 
per acre compared with other kinds. We are now prepared 
to recommend the use of St owell's evergreen corn for this 
purpose. The stalks are nearly as sweet as sugar cane, and 
double the quantity can be grown to theacro'to that result- 
iug from ordinary sweet corn. 
Prof. Mapes, in the “ Working Farmer,” December. 1851, 
gives the following directions for preserving the Stowed 
Evergreen Sweet Corn: 
The ears should be gathered when fully ripe, and the 
husk should be tied tit the uose(silk end.) to prevent drying, 
when the corn will keep soft, white and plump for more 
than a year, if in a dry and cool place. At the dinner of 
the Managers after the Fair of the American Institute, last 
year, we presented them with the corn of two successive 
years’ growth boiled, and there was no perceptible differ¬ 
ence between tlio two. This year we sent to the Fair one 
stalk containing eight full and fair ears, and could have sent 
many hundred stalks of six ears each.

1£ E A A* E R AND MOWER. 
First Premium Machine for 1853. 
A WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and the 
second for Reaping, at the N. Y. State Fair, in the great 
trial at Geneva, N. Y., in July, in competition with eleven 
other machines; awarded a Silver Medal at the Ohio State 
Fair, for the best Reaper'aud. Mower, aud received the 
highest award at the Vermont and Michigan State Fairs, 
for the best Reaping and Mowing Machine. 
The true merit of this Machine has given it a great tri¬ 
umph over all others, and being a perfect combination of 
Reaper and Mower, it comes to the farmer with double 
value, and it is clearly demonstrated t o be the only success¬ 
ful combination ot Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple and perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; and as a Reaper, it is as simple and perfect as if 
constructed for reaping only. A11 the change that is neces¬ 
sary from onb plan to the other, is to insert or remove a 
loose platform. 
Machines warranted to cut all kinds of grain as well as 
can be cut with a scythe, and to cut flax and millet, also to 
gather clover, timothy and flax seed, and to be well built 
and of good materials. This machine will cut from ten to 
fifteen acres per day, with two horses, aud one person to 
tend it when mowing, and two persons when reaping. The 
cutting apparatus is made perfect by means of a double 
edged sickle, and double guards, as fully tested the last two 
years, and it is connected with a joint, so as to adjust itself 
to uneven ground, and by a level at the driver’s seat, it can 
be raised when moving along, to cut from oue inch to two 
feet from the ground. All side draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. The machine will turn square corners, 
and turn square about, either way. Over three liuudred 
of these machines were in use the past season, all of which 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
The machines are manufactured at Hoosick Falls for the 
State of New York, and I will have them delivered to any 
part of Western New York where ordered. Price of ma¬ 
chine. where made, $125. Address Gen. R. Harmon

PORTABLE MILL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1852.) 
R OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
1 Our readers will many of them remember that Ross’ 
Portable Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at tne 
Annual State Fair, held in this city a few weeks since.— 
This admirable invention must commend itself to every 
one who lias witnessed its operation. In the first place it 
is easily portable, simple in structure, does not easily get 
out of order, and does its work with great rapidity and 
perfection. It. may be used for grinding the coarsest food 
for cattle, or the finest meal for family use It is also well 
adapted for grinding wheat, rye or buckwheat. It is indeed 
a perfect grist mill in miniature, and we would advise eve¬ 
ry farmer, if possible, to procure one. The expense of 
one of these mills, with the apparatus for horse power, 
can not be very great; or a number of farmers might club 
together and procure one, which would be sufficient for all. 
Mr. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. Y. 
N. B.—Any further information relative to the Conical 
Mil! can be obtained by tetter, post-paid, or by calling at

CART’SUOTARl' FUSE ENGINE PUMP. 
FTlHE Inventor after thorouglily testing his engine pump 
(l’or the past two years,) feels confident that it is not 
equalled by any tiling now in market, in the way of rais¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion being rotary, the stream 
is constant without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants may be used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, &e. The 
highest testimonials will be given. 
No. 1 is a house or well pump and domestic Fire En¬ 
gine, and will raise from 20 to 30 gallons per minute. 
No. 2 will raise 100 gallons at 120 revolutions. 
No. 2 do 200 do 120 do. 
No. 3 do 300 do 120 do. 
The quantity raised can be doubled, by doubling the 
revolutions. Those machines are manufactured and sold 
by the subscribers at Brockport. N. Y.
